POLICE AND THE WAR
RETAINING EVERY MAN
It was stated at the Military Service Board yesterday that the exemption of policemen would be sought on the ground that it would be contrary to the public interest to send them to the front. ■ , j The military representative asKed: ■fls it the intention to apply for tho exemption of men who joined the force, say, only, last year?" 'j>he Commissioner of Police replied that latterly the Department had taken on practically no police at all. The last lot taken on was only six, and special care had been taken to ascertain that they were not liable for military sen-ice. As a matter of fact, they were not recruiting, so they had to make an effort to retain every man they had in the service.
